More From Charles Dickens
- "That sort of half sigh, which, accompanied by two or three slight nods of the head, is pity’s small change in general society."
- "I have known a vast quantity of nonsense talked about bad men not looking you in the face. Don’t trust that conventional idea. Dishonesty will stare honesty out of countenance any day in the week, if there is anything to be got by it."
- "Most men are individuals no longer so far as their business, its activities, or its moralities are concerned. They are not units but fractions."
